With Philly needing both defensive tackle and corner badly and with milliner back at the top, that just might move fisher down.

Re: Chiefs Look at Foles (Philli) & Aren't looking at #1 Qb

I think LT is going to be more important to Chip. He won't e able to run the same tempo as he did in college but I bet he tries to run an offense that mixes what the Redskins ran mixed with the old Bills K-Gun offense. His going to need an athletic O-line that keep up and Fisher is an ideal fit. I wouldn't be surprised if they let Peters go to open up some more cap space to get more guys Chip likes.

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to trade quarterback Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs, a league source confirmed to ESPN.com's John Clayton.

Kansas City will trade its second-round pick in the 2013 draft -- the second selection (No. 34 overall) in the round -- as well as another conditional mid-round pick in 2014 to acquire Smith from San Francisco, a league source told ESPN.

As a result of the trade, the Chiefs are expected to release former starting quarterback Matt Cassel, league sources told ESPN.

At this point, Smith will play under terms of his remaining contract, which calls for a guaranteed base salary of $8.5 million in 2013. There has been no discussions between the Chiefs and Smith's representatives about negotiating a new contract.

The trade can't be officially completed until March 12 when the 2013 league year begins.

The trade agreement was first reported by Fox Sports.

Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick, lost his starting job to Colin Kaepernick while sitting out with a concussion but was professional at every turn and continued to mentor his replacement.

Before his injury, Smith had completed 26 of his last 28 passes -- including going 18-of-19 for 232 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in a "Monday Night Football" win at Arizona on Oct. 29.

He then sustained a concussion in the second quarter of the 49ers' next game, a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11. Smith sat out the next game as Kaepernick dazzled in his debut as an NFL starter, beating the Bears handily at home on "Monday Night Football." Smith didn't start again last season.

The 28-year-old quarterback has thrown for 14,280 yards with 81 touchdowns and 63 interceptions in 80 career games.

The Chiefs hired coach Andy Reid as their new coach this offseason after a 2-14 season that earned Kansas City the No. 1 overall pick but led to the dismissals of coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli.

It's all set now, they just have to make it official on March 12th. Geno Smith is definitely not going 1st now. I think it looks like Joeckel is almost a lock for the top spot now.
